The Ford Barn

scicala said it right. Unfortunately, as I live in Australia, "true" 57 Fords are a rare item, as Ford Australia did not sell these cars here, but updated the 56 Ford Customline by adding the side chrome trim from the 56 Fairlane. However, I have lots of photos of USA 57 Fords in my File, and none have the Grille Guard that starts at the Bumper Guard and wraps around the corner. The Centre Grille Guard with the "V" did in the centre is common, but I have never seen the ones on both sides. They do look good and look factory, but I believe that this is the first time that I have seen them on a 57 Ford. Are these a Genuine Ford Accessory?
